Andalusia City Council approves $2,000 donation to county incident response team
Summary
The Andalusia City Council voted unanimously to give $2,000 from contingency funds to the Covington County Incident Response Team to help cover rising costs for supplies and training.
The Andalusia City Council voted unanimously to donate $2,000 to the Covington County Incident Response Team to help cover increased costs for supplies and training.
Chief Hudson, chief of police, and his son Josh Hudson, commander of the incident response team, described the team as a multi-agency unit that responds to high-risk situations and executes drug warrants. Chief Hudson said training and equipment costs have risen in recent years and that the team had been fundraising to meet needs.
The council moved the payment from contingency funds after a formal motion and a second. The city of Opp had already donated $2,000, and council members said the Andalusia City contribution would match that amount. The motion passed with an oral unanimous vote recorded in the meeting transcript.
No ordinance or statutory citation was offered during the discussion, and the transcript does not record a numeric roll-call tally. The transcript shows the donation was authorized to support equipment and training for the incident response team; no additional conditions or implementation steps were recorded.
